FOOD & healthy eating Recommendations

Everything in moderation, especially moderation.& a healthy When in Rome…

Your diet should contain both cooked food and raw food. Every body is different. Make sure you check in with someone you trust to determine which ratio of raw:cooked food is best for you.

Principles to Remember:

1) Food Combining: it’s important you go easy with the different types of food you eat at the same time. Not everything can be digested together, and it is a significantly more healthy and comfortable decision to make wise choices here. You don’t need to be too crazy with it; it’s just good to do what you can. Food Combining chart at bottom of this page.2) CLEAN all of your fruits & veggies. Soaking them in a mixture of Apple Cider Vinegar and warm water works well.3) Some things you should just never eat. Like genetically modified “food” (aka “GMO”) and high fructose corn syrup. The list is below.4) Read the labels! Empower yourself! Check every ingredient; you deserve the attention from yourself… it is easy, especially if you know the main culprits to look out for.
